i think you're on the right path for checking it out. If you are using a mechanical oil pressure gauge, there might be some blockage or kinks in the line.

Kudos to you for finding the problem while it was a small concern (low oil reading) before it became a big problem (seized motor).

most big car failures happen because people overlook the little things.
